I guess I'm antisocial. Tonight a cyclist passed me while I was climbing Moose Hill, but at the top of the hill he had slowed to my climbing pace and stayed there. I didn't want to play "pass me, I'll pass you" so I slowed and followed 2 bike lengths behind. He kept a slow pace across the top of the hill. Finally he upshifted as we approached the descent, but then he coasted down the hill, taking the lane. Now this is the hill that I use to get my spin up so I can crack 30 mph across the flat and carry it as far as I can up the next grade. Was he being a little obnoxious, was I wheel-sucking, how do you handle that sort of situation?
